Tunisian Presidential Election: Controversy Erupts as Only 3 Candidates Accepted Amid Legal Battles

Tunisian President Kais Saied has called for presidential elections on October 6, but the Independent High Authority for Elections has accepted only 3 candidates from a total of 17 submissions. This decision has sparked significant political controversy, as many rejected candidates have appealed to the Administrative Court. Despite the court's rulings in favor of some rejected candidates, the Election Commission has maintained its original list, leading to questions about the authority's power over judicial decisions. Legal experts argue that the Administrative Court's rulings should be prioritized to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
